Papers Now Being Accepted for New ASME Journal

The editor of a new ASME journal, the Journal of Verification, Validation and Uncertainty Quantification, is currently accepting papers for the new publication. The new quarterly journal, which is expected to launch in 2016, is being developed as a vehicle for disseminating original and applied research, illustrative examples, and high-quality validation experiments and data from leaders in the field of verification, validation and uncertainty quantification (VVUQ) of computation models.

The new journal, which will serve an audience of both engineers and scientists, will feature peer-reviewed research, discipline-specific applications, and policy and regulatory perspectives, as well as sections dedicated to review articles and technical briefs reporting recent VVUQ-related advances and events.

The journal will publish papers covering a variety of specialties from every engineering discipline, including atmospheric and earth science; defense applications; fluid and thermal mechanics; high-energy density physics; materials science; medical device design and analysis; nuclear power system design and analysis; solid mechanics; space science and astrophysics; and structural dynamics.

The Journal of Verification, Validation and Uncertainty Quantification will be a major focus of the upcoming ASME Verification and Validation Symposium, which will take place from May 11-15, 2015, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The meeting, which will focus entirely on the emerging field of verification, validation, and uncertainty quantification of computer simulations, will provide prospective authors with an opportunity to meet the journal’s editor, Ashley F. Emery, PhD, and to submit papers to the journal.

Papers can also be submitted through ASME.org. To learn more about the new journal or to submit a paper, visit http://journaltool.asme.org and select “Verification, Validation and Uncertainty Qualification.” For more information, contact Dr. Emery by e-mail at emery@uw.edu.
